Thompson - where to look next

[mckha489]

I'm just not sure if it's the right James! but putting it out there anyway.

No Will. Administration granted to son James. also 7 clifton crescent. Son and one of next of kin.

So no will to get to see if Robert mentioned.

There’s a William Henry Thompson, Watchmaker living in the same area of Toxteth, I think there’s a connection. I don’t know how to show it.

When?
Why?

I wonder 

THOMPSON, ROBERT  FERGUSON mmn ROBERTSON
GRO Reference: 1845  M Quarter in LIVERPOOL  Volume 20  Page 452

as

THOMPSON, JOSEPH  JAMES FERGUSON mmn SMITH 
GRO Reference: 1868  S Quarter in WEST DERBY AND TOXTETH PARK  Volume 08B  Page 389

I’m thinking you need to buy that Robert Ferguson cert, to rule it in or out.  As if in it might help with the mother’s name for census search, and would also rule out James the Joiner from Birkenhead.
 
1871 census is just coming up a blank. I can’t find Emily or Arthur Barron then either.  Nor a Thompson Bar(r)on marriage.
